Started by the Latin America and the Africa Region, the Youth in Numbers series is comprised of six booklets, one for each operational region of the World Bank. The booklets compile data tables and sources of information to provide a handy reference guide for young people and practitioners who are concerned with understanding and improving the well-being of young people. The data sources and presentation of the information are as similar as possible between the booklets to allow for intra-region and cross-regional comparisons.
Each booklet is organized into two sections. The first section reproduces tables of statistical indicators that have been collected by various multi-lateral organizations. The most recent information available is presented in the areas of: population, education, health, and employment. Wherever possible, the indicators are disaggregated by gender. The source of the data and the webpage address from which the data were drawn are identified at the bottom of each table, thus allowing users to rapidly access updated information as it becomes available.
The second section cites databases, websites, and reports containing statistics on youth, which were identified during the process of producing this booklet. This compilation is not comprehensive, but it is intended to direct the user toward a subset of resources that can be used to begin a deeper understanding about the state of the world’s young people.
